With the current expansion plan, how long can a S/O starting in the 1st quarter of 2007 expect for upgrade through to Captain?
Is Cathay considering ordering more aircraft, B747-8?

hard to say with the expansion being offset by Direct Entry First Officers. So maybe 4 years as SO and then if the aviation market is still expanding maybe 5 years as an FO. Then one year in the penalty box after you get knocked back from command the first time so I would say TEN YEARS.
Which is still pretty darn quick for command on a heavy !

They sport the queen on their money. They don't celebrate the 4th of July. cx doesn't associate you with George W....
